Backspace: Browser Navigation Control for Edge

'Backspace' is an add-on designed for the Edge browser, which reinstates the backspace key as a navigation shortcut, allowing users to effortlessly go back a page. This add-on not only brings back the backspace key functionality, but also includes an option to whitelist domains and prevent backspace interceptions during text editing on websites. It's a handy tool for those longing for the traditional browsing experience.
